Just had a chance to look it up and yes, Heracles is the son of Zeus and Alcmene, and Hercules is the son of Jupiter and Alcmena. So Disney was wrong too as it turns out, and the Xitter OP should have known better.
Well, if you are in a greek setting and are using the greek names for every other character, it makes more sense to use the greek name, but Hercules is just a latin adaptation of Heracles, so no big deal I suppose.
Jupiter and Zeus are the same god. Jupiter is latin, Zeus is greek.
